¹⁶ and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

²⁰ and through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, `I say', whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.

²¹ And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,

²² yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him:

¹⁵ having abolished in the flesh the enmity, `even' the law of commandments `contained' in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, `so' making peace;

¹⁸ But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation;

¹⁹ to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

²⁰ We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech `you' on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

²¹ Him who knew no sin he made `to be' sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

¹ Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

² that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

¹⁴ having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross;

⁷ because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:

³ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

⁶ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with `him', that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;

¹⁰ For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life;
